🚨 In a shocking update, the Russian Investigative Committee has classified recent bridge collapses in the Bryansk and Kursk regions as acts of terrorism. These incidents, triggered by deliberate explosions along key railway lines, have left communities reeling.
On May 31, 2025, at 10:50 p.m. local time (0750 GMT), an explosion on the Vygonichi-Pilshino railway section in the Bryansk region caused a road bridge to collapse. This catastrophic event led to the derailment of a passenger train carrying 388 people, resulting in 7 tragic deaths and 66 injuries. 😢
In a separate incident in the Kursk region, a blast on a railway bridge forced a passing train off its track, injuring the driver and two assistants. Both cases have been formally classified as terrorist attacks, and criminal investigations have been launched following instructions from the committee's chairman.
Authorities are now working to uncover more details and motives behind these devastating events. As the investigation unfolds, the affected communities and the nation await further updates with bated breath. Stay tuned for more insights into this evolving story! 🙏
